Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BJ 79163 and what is it used for?
A: The BJ 79163 is an aftermarket replacement drive tire for Big Joe electric pallet jacks and electric lift trucks. It is a rubber drive tire manufactured from industrial-grade rubber to provide traction and propulsion in warehouse and material handling environments.
Q: How does the BJ 79163 differ from a load wheel?
A: The BJ 79163 is a drive tire that propels the pallet jack forward and backward. Load wheels support the lifted load vertically. Drive tires are typically larger and have different tread patterns than load wheels for traction and steering control.
Q: What is the tread material of the BJ 79163?
A: The BJ 79163 uses high-durability industrial-grade rubber for the tread. This rubber compound is engineered to withstand continuous cycling, deliver consistent grip on concrete floors, and resist wear in high-cycle warehouse operations.
Q: Which Big Joe models are compatible with the BJ 79163?
A: The BJ 79163 drive tire is designed for Big Joe electric pallet jacks. Confirm your jack model and serial number match this part number before ordering. Drive tire diameter and width must match your equipment specifications.
Q: How long does the BJ 79163 drive tire typically last?
A: Drive tire lifespan depends on usage intensity, floor conditions, and maintenance. In high-cycle operations, drive tires may need replacement every 2 to 4 years. Inspect regularly for uneven wear, cracks, or loss of grip. Replace when tread is worn smooth or visibly damaged.
Q: Can the BJ 79163 be used on wet or slippery surfaces?
A: Industrial-grade rubber provides adequate grip on dry concrete. On wet floors, icy surfaces, or in cold storage, traction may be reduced and slipping may occur. For wet environment applications, request a high-traction rubber formulation alternative engineered for those conditions.
